quick energizers

Hello

 

a few questions:

 

1) what are some quick energizers that i can do towards the end of the work

day? ones that i can do while walking down the street or sitting on the

subway would be very helpful (ie, involving only breathing and walking)

 

2) i have a very hard time focusing at my 3rd eye point. My eyes dont like

to stay still and focused when they are closed. Also I feel like I cant

find the center to focus on; I feel like I am always looking off to one

side. What can I do to improve my focus on the 3rd eye point. I have very

poor eyesight without my contacts (vision is fine when wearing contacts)---

could this weakness of my eyesight contribute to my inability to focus on

the 3rd eye? Additionally, my right eye is weaker than my left eye, could

that contribute to the off-center feeling?

 

3) i have been feeling off-balance with my senses, for instance when i

listen to music i feel like i am not hearing it all the way and even hearing

it with one ear more than another (i dont have physical hearing problems)---

are there kriyas to balance this?

 

thank you!

What works best for me is breath of fire for a few minutes (good when you

are tired, or sleepy, or spaced out...)

Your vision shouldn't have much to do with the third eye point. It is best

to let the eyes find the focus by themselves rather than try to fix them

somewhere. At the beginning of the meditation you might want to touch the

forehead with one finger in a point corresponding to the third eye (a bit

above the eyebrows - there is a small bone indentation at that point which

your finger should find quite naturally), and then close your eyes and try

to look towards the point you keep the finger on. Actually the third eye

point is not on the forehead, but about half an inch / one inch inside -

however touching the finger on the forehead should give you a relatively

good focus. If you feel you are losing focus at some point, you can touch

the forehead with the finger again for a few seconds and "redirect".

Yes there are many exercises and meditations for balance. Most balance

problems come from an imbalance between the brain hemispheres (this could

also explain why you feel off-focus when concentrating on the third eye),

and also from not being "grounded" in your body. I had a similar problem at

some point - in meditation I used to feel my awareness was literally half a

foot to the left of my physical body. All exercises for the navel center

will help you become grounded and centered (stretch pose and leg lifts for

example). For balancing the brain hemispheres here is an exercise I like:

 

Lie on your back on the floor, then at the same time inhale and raise your

right arm and left leg at a 90 degrees angle (or as close as you can get).

Exhale and bring them down, then on the next inhale raise your left arm and

right leg, then exhale and continue. Try to flex your foot as you raise the

leg, and extend it when you bring it down. You can do this slowly or fast,

as you prefer, and think Sat on the inhale and Nam on the exhale. Three

minutes at first should give you a good start.

 

Love and blessings,

Satsang Kaur

Hi Kristin:

 

In addition to all the great things that Satsang has passed on:

 

> 1) what are some quick energizers that i can do towards the end of

 

One of the best quick energizers is Eagle Pose (Ego Eradicator) -

arms up at 60 degrees, fingers pressed against the mounds at the

based of the fingers, thumbs pointed upward, breath of fire 2-3

minutes. To conclude, inhale and bring the thumbs together above the

head, stretching up and applying the root lock, and then slowly

exhaling the arms down, "feeling a rainbow of radiance described by

the arc of the descending thumbs" (Ravi).

 

> 2) i have a very hard time focusing at my 3rd eye point. My eyes

 

I found something great that I use at my beginners class. They are

little stick-on things that one applies to the 3rd eye point (I found

them at an Indian supply store). I make a little ritual of coming

around and applying the stickers to everyone, and press them firmly

on the right spot. Not only does it leave them with a feeling of the

right place to look, but they can easily check by putting their

finger on it at any time.

 

All love surround you,

Sadhant

Dear Kristin,

My favorite are 4 part breath explained on www.kundaliniyoga.org. and

triangle pose (not on the bus :+))

Breathwalk.

 

> 2) i have a very hard time focusing at my 3rd eye point. My eyes dont

Do arms out to sides palms up breath of fire for 2 minutes first. Balances

the brain and it is much easier to focus.

 

Look at the tip of your nose with eyes 1/10th open and you will feel the

third eye point.

 

Also I feel like I cant

Work with one eye at a time to identify which eye needs attention.

Yes. so you have to work with the right eye. Eye exercises could help. The

Bates method is well know. There are also sets in Relax and Renew. This

could help the hearing too.

Kristin,

 

I have scoliosis too. Except my spine twists on its axis rather than making an S

curve vertically. (iow, when my pelvis is straight forward, my ribcage faces

slightly to the right, naturally) I am curious now if this would effect

kundalini's path, and if i would have to do something to compensate for that.

 

Sat Nam!

thank you everyone for your responses.

 

also---- i have scoliosis which i think may contribute to my sense of

imbalance. i have an S-curve in my lower back that curves to the left. i

notice that the enery going up my left side feels very active while i cant

feel any energy going up my right side. someone suggested that i should try

to breathe into my lower right back. what else could i do? are there

specific kriyas to balance the energy on either side? (i have Relax and

Renew, Sexuality and Spirituality, and Guidelines for a Daily Saddahna if

anyone could refer to kriyas from these publications)

 

also-- what is Breathwalk? What is the Bates method? and which sets in

Relax and Renew are helpful for balancing eyes/hearing?

Hi Kristin,

 

The best (although quite old) description of the Bates Method I've come

across is by Aldous Huxley in his book The Art of Seeing, Harper and

Brothers, 1st edition, 1942. He used the exercises himself to come out of

near blindness. Hope this information helps, I know the Bates method works,

from the experience of friends who have used it with miraculous results.

 

All love surround you, Angad Kaur

Sat Nam Kristin,

 

As a healer, KY teacher and body worker, there are many paths for healing.

And combining some of the paths is very beneficial.

 

There is a technique known as Ortho-Bionomy. OB translates into "correct

prinicipals of life" It is very gentle but powerful and non-invasive. If

you are interested, I would be happy to put you in contact with the Society

to see if there is a practioner near you.

 

Sat Nam,

Samantha

Sat Nam Kristin:

BreathWalk combines walking with some meditational techniques (mudra,

mantra, and pranayama) - there are many BW's, and each produces

specific effects (examples: energy boost, rapport, mental clarity,

etc.). There is a book (BreathWalk by Gurucharan and YB), and you

can also find out more at:

 

<http://www.breathwalk.com/>

 

< sets in Relax and Renew are helpful for balancing eyes/hearing?

 

The section "Additional Exercises for the Eyes" also lists page

numbers for kriyas and meditations that are helpful.

 

Many blessings,

Sadhant
